our deficit is a big problem. >> what about our taxation system? when i pick up my bible, you know he what i see? i see the fairest individual in the universe, god, and he's given us a system. it's called time. >> well, he didn't stop there because carson is the head of neurosurgery at johns hopkins. listen to his take on obama care. >> he's my solution. when the person is born, give them a birth certificate, an electronic card and a health savings account. when you die, you can pass it on to your family members so that when you're 85 years old and you've got six diseases you're not trying to spend up everything. you're happy to pass it on and there's nobody talking about death panels. >> well, rush limbaugh said republicans could learn a thing or two from the good doctor. >> he sets out a position based on our principles of individual responsibility and free market that is a logical solution that makes total sense to everybody who hears it. >> this man said it while obama's sitting there. this is the kind of thing the republican party should have

a balanced approach has achieved more than $2.5 trillion in deficit reduction. that's more than halfway towards the $4 trillion in deficit reduction that economists and elected officials from both parties believe is required to stabilize our debt. so we've made progress. i still believe that we can finish the job with a balanced mix of spending cuts and more tax reform. the proposals that i have put forward during the fiscal cliff negotiations in discussions with speaker boehner and others, are still very much on the table. i just want to repeat, the deals that i put forward, the balanced approach of spending cuts and entitlement reform and tax reform that i put forward are still on the table. i have offered sensible reforms to medicare and other entitlements, and my health care proposals achieved the same amount of savings by the beginning of the next decade as the reforms that have been proposed by the bipartisan bowls simple son fiscal commission. these reforms radio reduce our government's bill. what's up, cameraman? come on, guys. they're breaking my flow a

during my courtesy calls with many of you i heard repeated references to a trust deficit that has at times existed between this committee and the cia. if i am confirmed, a trust deficit between the committee and the cia would be wholly unacceptable to me and i would make it my goal on day one of my tenure and every day thereafter to strengthen the trust between us. i have a representation for speaking my mind and at times doing so in a rather direct manner which some attribute to my new jersey roots. i like to think that my candor and bluntness will reassure you to get straight answers from me, maybe not always the ones you like but you will get answers and reflect any honest views. that's the commitment i make to you. i would like to finish by saying a few words about the importance of taking care of the women and men who serve in the cia. because of the secrecy that intelligence work requires, few americans will ever know the extraordinary sacrifices that these professionals and their families make every day. many of them risk their lives and at times have given their lives to keep

not only have they failed to come together around a big plan to reduce the deficit. they have also failed in their basic responsibility to pass appropriations bills. how we fund the government each year. we are operating today, continuing resolution on appropriations, because they failed to pass appropriations bills. the last time that congress passed all the appropriations bills and timeless 1994. it was in 1994. that is a basic responsibility. to be able to fund the government. my fear is that there is a dangerous and callous attitude that is developing among some republicans and some democrats. that these danhat these dangeroe allowed to take place in order to blame the other party or the consequences. this is a kind of so what attitude. it says let's see how bad it can get. in order to have the other party blink. i have seen that attitude before. it was the same attitude that led to a government shutdown in 1995. the same attitude. the other side will blink. even though it will hurt people. even if it's going to hurt our citizens or our security. this is a good w

the unifying message of the republican party, the fiscal, our fiscal hours is out of order and the deficit is spiraling and we need to get that under control. you're also seeing republicans saying we can't just be about fiscal issues and in fact, the very beginning of that speech that majority leader cantor gave, let's put aside fiscal issues for a minute. let's talk about education. let's talk about health care. let's talk about immigration. they're trying to put sort of a kindler gentler face on the party because the exit polls show a lot of voters perceive mitt romney as sort of out of touch and removed from middle class concerns and not really someone who could relate to just the average american and the makeup of the party is a much wider republican party. >> right. >> every way by the polls. >> they can't survive that way. the demographic tide is moving. it was financey, the title of that speech that the majority leader said was make life work. it sounds like an oprah. gwen: i didn't get that. the speech didn't seem to be -- >> no, but i think -- but the sort of an oprah feel to it.
